Welcome to Litsy!

So remember I posted about how this book was getting a ton of attention on Booksta. There is a reason! It was so good.

The book opens with 11-year-old Thomas Leon Ware standing trial for a triple murder. The reader is privy to Tommie's thoughts. Not the least of which is Tommie asking himself, "Am I going to tell the truth?"

I loved it & fell asleep reading it. Finished it the next morning!! Absolutely recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐?

This book has been getting a lot of attention on booksta so I went ahead and bought it. I haven't seen much on Litsy about it.

4☆An absorbing, suspenseful read! Lundrigan gives us these great characters that I was so invested in. And the story kept me on the edge of my seat, enthralled, wondering how it would all shake out. The writing pulled me in right from the first paragraph and I was happy to let it take me along through this gripping, heartbreaking and haunting story. If you're like me and struggle to enjoy thrillers I recommend giving this for a try. #canlit

I really enjoyed reading this book, but also loathed it for all the gross nuances it had throughout the book. It was a great mystery, with everything you could want, and I was surprised by who the killer was (not figuring it out until almost the end).

This is a combination of a thriller, historical fiction and a coming-of-age story. It is set in 1958 and features Tommy who is 11 and on trial for murdering a family. I really enjoyed the characters and the way the author portrayed the feeling of hopelessness when faced with abuse by those with money and power. The question of whether the child was pushed to do 'An Unthinkable Thing“ is with you right up until the end. I gave it 4.5/5 stars.
